Help Eva Find Safety, Confidence, and Accessible Education with a Service Dog
Eva is our vibrant, spirited, warm-hearted 5-year-old who faces unique challenges due to a developmental disability. Like many children, she wants to explore the world, play with friends, and feel comfortable in new places like school. However, these simple joys are often out of reach for her.
Whether it's working through activities of daily living, navigating school, or staying safe in her home and community, Eva experiences significant challenges. This limits her ability to participate in everyday activities and requires substantial support from her parents and caregivers.
Here is where a service dog can make a world of difference! We are working with Loyalty Service Dogs to connect Eva with a specially trained service dog to provide the companionship and sense of security she needs to feel safe, secure, and confident. The dog will not only be a calming presence but will also help her manage anxiety, build emotional resilience, and access environments that are otherwise too overwhelming for her.
The cost of acquiring and training a service dog is significant, but the impact it would have on her well-being, safety, and ability to access the world would be immeasurable. This is where we are seeking support. We are reaching out to our community to help make this dream a reality for Eva. The total cost of the service dog is $28K. Family has generously supported with $7K. I’m seeking to make up the rest through my own savings, the coaching and caregiving work I do, and community support from you all.
Here is how you can help!
- Make a Donation: Any amount you can contribute will directly assist in covering the costs associated with training and acquiring Eva's service dog. Every dollar counts, and your generosity will bring us closer to our goal of $14K.
- Spread the Word: Share our campaign with your friends, family, and social media networks. The more people who know about Eva's journey, the more support we can gather. A simple share or a conversation can go a long way!
- Provide Emotional Support: Your encouragement and understanding mean the world to us. Sometimes, just being there to listen or offer a kind word can make a huge difference in our journey.
Thank you for being part of Eva's journey towards safety, comfort, and independence. We appreciate you!
